Abstract
Two basic hypothesises of Taylor-Galerkin Finite Element Method are studied in this paper. One of them which is unreasonable is redefined. The only hypothesis becomes the standpoint of Generalized Finite Element. We use this idea to analysis stream function-vorticity equations with Modified Taylor-Galerkin Finite Element Method, and give the two-step solving method, which makes the solving process more reasonable than ever before. Several computational examples reveal that the results of this new method are satisfied.
